CRYMYR

OVERVIEW

Crymyr [Cry-Meer] (Singular: Crymyr) (adj. Crymyri) are a hybrid species between a Nocmyr sire and a Crysalla dam.

  • Crymyr are rare. They first appeared after the Nocmyr came to Siablan. However, Crymyr have become more common than Ganalla, despite being newer to the planet.
  • Crymyr hatch from eggs in their draconian forms.
  • Crymyr possess a Soul Stone on their chests, inherited by their Crysalla parent.
  • Crymyr are carnivorous and osteovores.
  • Crymyr are crepescular.
  • Crymyr are mesotherms.
  • Crymyr have one hermaphroditic sex, with internal gonads and a cloaca, reproduce via penetration, and lay a clutch of one egg after a gestation period of 100 years.
  • Crymyr display any Crysalla or Nocmyr traits and mutations.

anatomy

Crymyr have two forms, their draconian form and their bipedal form.

Draconian Forms

Crymyr naturally have four legs and two wings, with a Soul Stone on their chests, but their anatomy varies greatly by subtype.

  • Crymyr have a toothless, jagged beak, five eyes with a large iris, and four external ears.
  • Crymyr inherit their wings from their Crysallan dam– and will display any of the Crysalla wing types.
  • Crymyr inherit their body subtype from their Crysalla dam– and will display any of the three subtypes of Crysalla.
  • Crymyr are categorized by their Crysallan subtype.

standard Crymyr
  • Thick, muscular, sturdy bodies. Large front legs, straight back, thin hind legs, and stiff tail. These Crymyr are built for strength, and aren’t very flexible.
  • May survive without water for up to 10 days, and up to 5 weeks without eating.

serpentine Crymyr
  • Long, elongated and flexible bodies. Smaller front legs, curving back, thin hind legs, and flexible tail. These Crymyr are built for speed, and are taller and longer than the standard of the same age.
  • May survive without water for up to 10 days, and up to 3 weeks without eating.

Dwarf Crymyr
  • Small, thick, and fat bodies. Thicker legs, short back, and fat deposits in the tail. Smallest Crymyr, and often mistaken for youth. Not to be confused with achondroplasia.
  • May survive without water for up to 20 days, and without eating for 15 weeks, relying on metabolizing fat stores.

Bipedal Forms

Crymyr come in three distinct subtypes; Standard, Serpentine, and Dwarf.

Crymyr are capable of shifting between their draconian and bipedal forms naturally, although it expends energy. Shifting frequently will make a Crymyr very hungry, as it burns calories fast. Crymyr mostly use their bipedal form for fine motor tasks that require the use of their hands. Crymyr do not have breasts or a belly button.

Crymyr are capable of “tucking” their wings into their bodies within their bipedal form, for the ease of maneuvering in tight quarters.

Crymyr wing membranes in their bipedal form only extend to the end of their spine, to allow for clothing. They have long slits in the back of their clothes for their wings to push through. Crymyr have avian scapulae to allow for the wing bones to attach to the musculoskeletal structure, not human shoulder blades!

body subtypes

Standard
  • Thick, muscular, sturdy bodies. Large forearms, straight back, thin hind legs, and stiff tail. These Crymyr have an abdominal and limb fat distribution pattern. These Crymyr are built for strength, and aren’t very flexible.
serpentine
  • Long, elongated and flexible bodies. Smaller forearms, thin legs, and flexible tail. These Crymyr have an hourglass fat distribution pattern. These Crymyr are built for speed, and are taller than the standard of the same age.
dwarf
  • Small, thick, and fat bodies. Thicker limbs, short stature, and fat deposits in the tail. These Crymyr have an even fat distribution pattern throughout their body. Smallest Crymyr, and often mistaken for youth. These Crymyr are built for going long periods of time without eating. *Not to be confused with achondroplasia.

aging and growth

Crymyr can live up to 5,000 years. Crymyr age rapidly and then slow down past 250. 1 human year = 50 Ganalla years.

  • Crymyr age/50 = human equivalent (Ex. 3000/50= 60 human years).
  • Crymyr come of age at 200 years (equivalent 20 human years).
  • Crymyr’s maximum height in bipedal form is 10’, and maximum height in draconic form at the shoulder is 20’.
